ROYAL SPY RING EXPOSED!

China’s secret agents used queen’s hubby & son Andrew as dupes to destroy monarchy

-

ASINISTER Chinese spy ring secretly wormed its way into Queen Elizabeth’s inner circle and ruthlessly obtained scandalous blackmail informatio­n that could bring down the monarchy, say intelligen­ce sources.

Palace sources tell GLOBE the ruthless Beijing spies have been unmasked by British agents — and deported — but not before they compromise­d the royal family by using bribes and sex to steal crucial state secrets and learn about bad behavior they could use for extortion!

Prince Andrew and the queen’s late husband, Philip, were key targets of Chinese moles determined to bring down the monarchy, the sources say.

Now, discovery of the devious scheme has thrown the palace into “chaos,” reveals a high-level royal courtier.

“The evil spies apparently used bribes and sex to gain access to royal staffers — and the family itself! Senior officials are terrified the agents amassed enough ammunition to twist royal wrists and influence official policy!”

The spy scandal exploded after MI5, the British intelligen­ce agency, revealed Chinese secret agents who tried to “corrupt and coerce” British politician­s and infiltrate Parliament also wormed their way into FaithInves­t, a charity set up by Prince Philip with co-founder Martin Palmer in 1995. Supposedly working through the China Taoist Associatio­n that had teamed up with FaithInves­t, the agents were actually controlled by Beijing’s United Front Work Department (UFWD), known for ruthless intelligen­ce and foreign sabotage activities.

“Their focus was to meet Prince Philip, worm their way into the royals’ inner circle and buy influence,” says the palace insider. “They last met at Windsor Castle in 2017.

“They also met Philip several times through the Alliance of Religions and Conservati­on (ARC) — a separate charity he also co-founded with Palmer.

“Philip, who died last April, would be horrified that he was caught in a Communist spy ring — and didn’t recognize it.”

His disgraced son Andrew, 61, who’s facing a civil trial in New York over allegation­s he raped 17-year-old Jeffrey Epstein sex slave Virginia Roberts Giuffre, was also in Chinese crosshairs.

The Duke of York made no fewer than eight trips to the country between 2010 and 2019 as a guest of the Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs (CPIFA), another organizati­on accused of being a puppet of the UFWD.

“Prince Andrew is a classic ‘useful idiot’ [who] seemingly allows himself to be used,” charges Mareike Ohlberg, co-author of Hidden Hand, which details the Chinese Communist

Party’s efforts to influence opinion overseas.

Blasts a second palace source: “Andrew has a lot of explaining to do. He brazenly made trips to China, supposedly to promote closer ChinaU.K. cooperatio­n, even after losing his British envoy role over his friendship with billionair­e pedophile Epstein.

“Despite shocking reports of China’s crackdowns on pro-democracy campaigner­s, Andrew shamelessl­y unveiled the multiple-language editions of President Xi Jinping’s propaganda book, The Governance of China” at a 2018 London event.

In December 2020, after the queen banned him from royal duties over the Epstein scandal, “he wrote to CPIFA to apologize for not being able to visit,” says the second source.

“This is more of Andrew’s self-absorbed ‘I’ll do what I want’ attitude that’s got him in so much trouble.

“The big question is did he help bring the Chinese into the palace to meet his father and open royal doors to ruthless spies?”

The scandal has horrified 95-yearold Queen Elizabeth and her heirs Prince Charles and Prince William, who are furious and mortified. But both worry about Her Majesty’s survival, sources say.

“As she faces her final days, everything she has worked for could be destroyed,” says the courtier.

“Her historic 70-year reign is to be celebrated with national festivitie­s this year, but it’s being overshadow­ed by family scandals and this unpreceden­ted spy plot.

“Despite Andrew’s denials, she’s already reeling from the rape lawsuit that forced her to strip him of his military titles and royal patronages last month.

“And she’s had to endure bitter attacks on the family from grandson Prince Harry and his diva wife, Meghan, after they quit royal duties.

“Now Chinese spies have infiltrate­d her inner circle.

“I don’t know how much more she can take.”
